Dow’s – owned by the Symington family – ranks amongst Port’s most famous names and is renowned for its powerhouse style. Their coveted releases use grapes from the phenomenal Quinta do Bomfim vineyard and tend to be drier and exceptionally long-lived. The Symington family are trusted hands because they are the world’s leading producer of premium Port and the biggest vineyard owner in the Douro Valley – a UNESCO World Heritage Site of jaw-dropping beauty. The company is also B-Corp Certified, which means they are also on it when it comes to the environment, sustainability, their people, their supply chain and giving back to the community.
Dark and deeply warming, it has developed notes of leather, coffee and dark chocolate alongside the classic blackcurrant, blackberry, spiced Christmas cake fruit and anise flavours. A fine choice for festive fare and cheeseboards or as a gift for marking a special 1997 anniversary.
